I thought age 30 was typical college age in the RP canon?

@Wayward

30 is the typical age, but it seemed you were wanting to have her start early. So I was compromising and saying that she could have started college as early as 26. So in her bio, when you said she started college at 18, I was just suggesting she start at 26 instead. Nothing else about her bio needs to change.

30 is only a set in stone requirement for becoming a Pokemon Trainer.

Also, it's worth noting that college and education in general in this world would typically be harder and take more time to complete than in our world.

@Wayward It is good to see your post, a very solid introduction. Could you do me one favor however? Can you post your character sheet into the IC tab? Also, when you do, can you update her starting college age from 18 to 26?

That would still be an early age for starting college in this world.
(8 [almost 9] year old in appearance; around 13 in mental maturity)

Not all posts have to be descriptive masterpieces right?

"I see ya picked Fennekin," Myra chatted to break the silence. "They're a starter Pokemon in my neck of the woods, too. Do ya have any more Pokemon?"

@Zanavy

Reno was relieved when Myra broke the silence. He was thinking of something to say too, but luckily she beat him to it. He answered her question right away. "No, I literally became a trainer an hour ago. That was my first Pokemon battle."

Up ahead, Reno could see his bike in the parking lot. Myra's car was there too... not that he knew that yet. "I was actually headed back to my parents house for the new year when your Litwick hitched a ride. You spending New Year's with family too?"

I'll have time to settle in to write an intro post tonight.

@Wayward

No rush, but that sounds good.

I'm settling on making Alex 35, and a year or so out of college; in essence, she'd be starting her journey as a trainer a later than would be the standard in the RP's world (mostly because she never really considered it).

@Wayward

Cool. So she would look around 12-13 years old and have the mental maturity of at least an 18 year old.

So, within the world of the RP, if I were to keep with my current theme of a post-graduate trainer, I'd be looking at a 35-36 year old?

@Wayward

School ages are a little more flexible, depending on if you started college early or not. Also, people can start college later in life, so the upper age is really up to you. That said, I'd say age 34 would be about the earliest someone would already be a college graduate (at a normal college at least, not a quick technical program). Which would be looking around 11 with the mental maturity of a 17 year old.

@Zanavy I was thinking that we can have a real conversation, in the safety of the city streets, away from this Spinarak/Ariados stomping ground.

The Hitchhiker Returned

The Spinarak on the left to a direct hit from both fire attacks. The damage knocked the little bug pokemon off it's webbing and onto the grass bellow. Seeing this, the other Spinarak lowered himself down to check on his friend (or sibling?). The Pokemon on the ground didn't faint, but it definitely looked scared. They both looked a little spooked in fact. Bug Pokemon really didn't like fire. And so, the two Pokemon ran away, as fast as they could.

Reno considered, for all of two seconds, trying to catch one of the Spinarak. Somehow it didn't feel right however. They seemed perfectly content with one another, and besides he could easily find another Spinarak, if he wanted. They were indigenous to forests in this area.

Then a thought hit him, and he turned to the new arrival. "Hey there, thanks for the help. I assume you're this Litwick's trainer?"

Reno listened to Myra's answer, then continued with what was on his mind, "Nice to meet you, but I think we need to get out of here, before those Spinarak come back with Ariados parents or something. How about we regroup at the Pokemon Lab? It's not far."
